Parent Chaperones are Needed

You don't have to ski, we are looking for Chalet only chaperones too. Without chaperones there is no ski program. Buses are chaperoned by Mounds View district parents. Chaperones that prefer to ski will receive a free lift ticket, rental equipment, and lessons each night. It is preferred that each chaperone commits for all 8 weeks. As with all school volunteers, a routine back ground check will be required. Contact your schools ski supervisor for more information.
